RUSSIAN DOLLS IN ST IVES! 3rd March, 2010

I have to say that this set of Russian dolls in a shop window in Fore St. - there are ten of them - is rather attractive!
Indeed, Matrioshka (babushka) dolls. Been 'with us' for over a hundred years. I have a set from Moscow and another from Kiev, quite different. Iryna Bilyk tearfully sings of her grandmother in the beautiful song 'Oma'.
Babushka is the endearment term for grandmother.
